Women, First-Gen, BIPOC Students Less Likely to Have Paid Internship Experience - Ashley Mowreader, Inside Higher Ed

A September report from the Business–Higher Education Forum found there are not enough internships available for students who want them nationally, and a new brief from California Competes found similar gaps among students at California public institutions. Researchers discovered that only 6 percent of Californians have participated in a paid internship, and only 15 percent participated in an internship at all. Women (4 percent), Black (5 percent), Latino (4 percent) and Native American (0 percent) students were less likely than their peers to complete a paid internship, as were first-generation learners (4 percent) and college students over 30 years old (2 percent).
